GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read all safety information, instructions,
illustrations and technical data provided with
this power tool. Failure to observe the following
instructions may cause electric shock, fire and/or
severe injuries. Keep all safety information and
instructions for future reference. The term
"power tool" used in this safety information refers
to mains-operated power tools (with power cable)
and to battery-powered power tools (without
power cable).
1. Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Disorder or
unlit workplaces may result in accidents.
b) Do not work with the power tool in potentially
explosive environments where there are flammable
fluids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that
can ignite the dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and other persons away when using
the power tool. If distracted, you may lose control of the
power tool.
2. Electrical Safety
a) The connection plug of the power tool must fit in the
socket. The plug may not be modified in any form.
Verwenden Sie keine Adapterstecker gemeinsam mit
schutzgeerdeten Elektrowerkzeugen. Unmodified plugs
and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as
pipes, heating elements, stoves and refrigerators. The
risk through electric shock increases if your body is earthed.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. Water
penetrating into a power tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
d) Do not misuse the power cord to carry the power tool,
hang up the power tool or pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled power
cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If the power tool must be used in a moist environment,
use a ground fault circuit interrupter. Using a residual
current operated circuit-breaker avoids the risk of electric
shock.
3. Safety of Persons
a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and
work sensibly with a power tool. Do not use the power
tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness when
using the power tool may cause serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear
safety goggles Wearing personal protective equipment,
such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helm or ear
protection, depending on the type of power tools, reduces
the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starting-up. Make sure that the
power tool is switched off before you connect it to
the power tool and/or battery, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents may happen if you have your finger on the switch
while carrying the power tool or if the device is switched on
when you connect it to the power supply.
d) Remove setting tools or wrenches before switching
on the power tool. A tool or key in a rotating part of the
power tool can cause injuries.
e) Avoid an unnatural posture. Ensure that you are
standing securely and have your balance at all
times. This allows you can better control the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) Do not lull yourself into a false sense of security and
do not think yourself above the safety rules for electric
tools, even if you are familiar with the electric tool
following extensive practical experience. Careless use
can lead to serious injuries in fractions of a second.
4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the power tool
designed for the work that you are doing. You work
better and safer in the specified performance range if you
use the suitable power tool.
b) Do not use power tools whose switch is defective. A
power tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous
and has to be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or take
out a removable battery before you make device
adjustments, change accessories or put the power
tool away. This precautionary measure prevents the power
tool from starting unintentionally.
d) Store unused power tools so that they are inaccessible
to children. Do not let persons use the tool who
are not familiar with it or who have not read these
instructions. Power tools are dangerous when they are
used by inexperienced persons.
e) Maintain the power tool and insertion tools with
care. Check whether moving device parts are working
flawlessly and are not jamming, whether parts are
broken or damaged so that as to impair the function of
the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before
using the power tool. Many accidents have their origin in
power tools that have been maintained badly.
